Ian's Progress In School

We had a review session with Ian's childcare teachers this afternoon.  It was a short 30 minutes chat with the teachers and they showed us his "report book".

Generally, his "grades" in all aspects had improved, with mostly 3s (1 being the lowest, 3 being the highest).  I wonder if the teachers had been a tad too generous with the scores?  However, as expected, the language development sections had many 2s, but there were no more 1s unlike the mid-year review.

The teachers also showed us a stick figure sketch that he had drawn in the beginning of December.  It was a self-portrait, with eyes, nose, mouth, hair, body, hands, and legs.  I was a bit surprised at the sketch, and the teachers said that they were a bit surprised too because it was probably something that a 3.5 year old would draw.  They noticed that he was strong at sorting shapes and colours.  They also commented that he was a curious child, and always tore off bits of paper from the crafts pasted on the wall. 

It was a pity that I only had a quick look at the comments written in the report book, which would follow him until he completed K2 in this school.

On this day, I also noticed the big difference in his behaviour, upon the appearance of his English teacher.  He was running wildly along the corridor while we waited for our turn, and immediately turned into a "demure" sheep when she walked out of the classroom.  It was good to know that there was someone in school who could control him from misbehaving.
